Best skate shoes

Nike 6.0 or SB are great , vans are also heaps good, DC are fairly good and Etnies are also pretty good. Steer clear of Kustoms or Converse skate they dont last and are as bad as airwalk or skechers

My favorites

1) Fallen : I got a pair in March and they lasted me until May, then they ripped in half. Theyr'e comfortable and look great!
2) Lakai : GREAT SHOE. The only negative thing I would have to say about them is that they are very hard to break in. Other then that, they feel great for skating and don't have a stress zone like fallens do.
3) Ipath : Ipaths are comfortable, but I don't really dig the fat skate shoes thing ; I feel as if it trips me up because of the bulkiness
and last but not least: Emerica. Emerica shoes have a great feel to them, but they need to have a better shock absorbancy to it .
I hope this helps, Fallen or Lakai I highly recommend!

Nike Sb

Nike Sb are the best, no doubt about it. They make the moest comfortable shoes out their. Also they are very grippy, last REALLY long and are just an all around great shoe brand. I've had Fallens, globe, etnies, adio, lakai, addidas, vans, emaricas, voxx, and basiclly every skate shoes out there, and like I said before.. Nike Sb are the best in my opinion. Hope this helped.

NIKE SBs

Hey SBs are pretty good alot of clean skaters use SBs they are somewhat durable very light and comfortable and have good grip , They are worth the money if they are double stiched , one thing that makes shoes last longer ar strong glues like gorilla glue super glue etc , rub then on your shoes until theres a film wherever it scratches the grip wait for it ti dry and your shoes are as hard as a rock nd still light

Emerica

All these fags on here sayin "VANS AND WORLD INDUSTRIES" Are retarded Emerica all the way man they got the best grip, never goes away, never get holes EVER it takes a fucking pickaxe to even put a scratch in it bro so fuck all you posers and get some Emericas.

Vans Authentic

Ive only been skating for three years and ahave gone through several pairs of shoes. Including DC, DVS, ES, Etines and Vans, the best were definitely the vans. They were the Vans authentic classic and the had good support, a strong base and looked cool overall and wer also quite affordable. I still use them today and will continue till I wear them out. I strongly recommend these shoes.
